The BOSS GA-FC EX foot controller offers seriously upgraded control and a streamlined workflow over your standard Katana setup, all with hands-free operation for easy stage use. This flexible footswitch lets you instantly switch between all your favorite Katana tonal presets, and a quick tap of the Effect switch gives you the power to further customize each specific channel with a variety of different effects. Plus, two dedicated expression pedal jacks provide even greater real-time control over your sound ? the Exp Pedal 3 mode even allows for a third expression pedal! If you’re running multiple Katanas in your live setup, then the GA-FC EX’s Foot Control 2 mode offers an effortless way to rig up to two amps, and the Expand mode even allows you to add another GA-FC EX/GA-FC footswitch to your rig for even the most complex of setups. Finally, BOSS products are legendary at Sweetwater for their sheer durability, so it comes as no surprise that the GA-FC EX sports a rugged metal chassis and heavy-duty switches that can easily withstand even the roughest stages and tour vans.





Note: While the BOSS GA-FC EX foot controller is designed to function with a wide variety of BOSS Katana models, it’s always a good idea to call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer before placing an order to ensure compatibility.
